Sa-wiiiiiing batter!

[sleepybuster]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Baseball game
WHEN: August 2nd, in the afternoon
WHERE: where do you think
WARNINGS: inevitable balls jokes and Leon sounding super tsun and hetero
SUMMARY: Read below!

So! After loads of planning (and hopefully practicing between both teams), it's finally time for the big baseball game! Although there have been a few sports competitions like this in the afterlife already, Riki wanted to have one solely between all the dead kids sometime before the break would end. And today is now that day...! The teams have been officially distributed as:

Sena's Team:
Sena Kashiwazaki
Riki Naoe
Levi
Kohaku
Mana

Haruhi's Team:
Haruhi Suzumiya
Leon Kuwata
Celica A. Mercury
Kotarou Tennouji
Bertholdt

(Mana and Bertholdt had been added to the opposite teams originally, but Riki's a butt so he decided to swap them so that both teams would have an equal number of girls. Also! If anyone else had been unofficially signed up (meaning you threaded your character joining in ICly but never responded to the OOC sign-up post), just let me know and I'll add you.)

Anyway! Before the game, there will be some time for everyone to have some last-minute batting or catching practice. Whatever suits your fancy. Or talking to the crowd that has come to watch. There's also plenty of food and drinks (all of which are healthy choices, though -- like water, orange juice, fruits, and the like) for people to have! The real treats won't come until after the game. Because guess what Riki managed to get?! A giant cake! Yum. It has a baseball field on it and everything!

As for the game itself, there will be nine innings. Points will be distributed like this:

Sena's Team: 0, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 0, 4, 2 (14)
Haruhi's Team: 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2 (15) <-- Winner!

Also, during the game, some NPCs (the 5% of them that are actually, you know, around...) may make there way on over to the bleachers to see what's going on. One or two of them will be doing the same nonsense that they have been for the past few days, saying weird and irrelevant things like, "Did you floss your toes today?" or getting stuck on and repeating phrases such as, "I love soccer game-game-game-games..." The others are fine, but yeah. The glitched ones will only stick around briefly before just randomly leaving, saying they have basket weaving to tend to or something.

So! Now that that's all settled... Let the game begin!

(And as a side note, if there are any questions, just drop them onto this post and I'll answer them there.)

That's right.

[ Haruhi nods, placing her hands on her hips as she takes out the sheets of paper with the Amidakuji, along with a pen. ]

Just put your name over two of the lines - one for batting position and another for defense position - and follow it down to find out what you'll get. Of course, I'm the pitcher and the first batter~

[conversationalist]

[He figured the ego is huge on this one. Not that he's complaining, he's merely hoping he's at least last on one of them. Excited as it may, it's been too long since he's attended anything physical, it's nearly nerve-wracking. Hopefully nothing too stupid comes up...]

You're the leader after all. [He humors. Kotarou grabs the pen.]

...Hmm. [He doesn't wanna put much thought into this.]

Gimme your hand for a second.

[extraordinarily]

[ Hey, her ego is backed up with actual ability, so don't complain! Haruhi will hug her shoulders first, taking a step back as she speaks up, her voice slightly confused and disgusted. ]

Tell me why and maybe I will.

[conversationalist]

Don't back up like that! You'll make it seem like I'm asking for something weird!

[Isn't he?!]

Just let me see. It won't hurt.

[extraordinarily]

And how do I know you're not?!

[ She'll frown and pout before showing him her palm. It's nothing special, just an ordinary female hand. Unless you count the fact that Haruhi has pseudo-goddess like powers. Though her hand is totally and completely fine. ]

[conversationalist]

[Carelessly, Kotarou takes her hand and writes something on the palm of her hand.]

There.

[Ten-nou-ji (天王寺) would be found written on the top of her skin.]

[extraordinarily]

... and why did you write tennouji on my hand?

[conversationalist]

[He desperately wanted to say something perverted. However, this girl's not your average girl. She's scary, crazy, and will do everything to get her way some way or another. He had to tread carefully.]

It's my name.

[extraordinarily]

... But why did you have to write it? I'm not an idiot. You could have just told me your name.

[ She's totally washing it off once she gets away from him, though. ]

[conversationalist]

["Because it's my hand now! Sucker!" "Because it's my hand now. Take it and embrace it."

...He's watching it. He's really watching it.]

Because that's how I'm deciding my positions. Get it?

[extraordinarily]

Fine! For doing something like that, I'm giving you the worst positions.

[ And she's actually taking out the pen and slowly going to write it on the sheets of paper.. ]

[conversationalist]

[...Well, someone has to take it.]

Are you sure about that?

[extraordinarily]

Unless you do something right now that'll make you not have those spots, then yes.
